Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on criminals's fear, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.

How old is Damian Wayne in New 52?

Ok here's what got my attention,in "Batman" it is mentioned that Bruce is Batman for 5 years so let's say that he met thalia the first year and that they had sex.so that means damian is like 5 years old?!i don't get it.somebody explain to me

i was gonna say 8-10 years old but was beaten to the punch. also on the point of ignore the 5 year thing because 4 wards/heirs in 5 years and one supposedly dying under your care and another being your illegitimate son is not a good track record .how has bruce not been investigated by child services???

I'll give 5 imaginary bucks to anyone who actually understands the Batman timeline and how any of the whole sidekick situation makes sense chronologically...

Batman has been operating for 2-3 years before the creation of the JL.The 5 year timeskip means we are currently looking at year 6 of the JL and year 8-9 of Batman so..............Damian could be 9 years old!!

NOW GIVE ME MY MONEY!! :-P

Scott Synder says (on Kevin Smiths "Fatman on Batman" podcast) that Damian is 10 and not to read too much into the timeline as he explains they see "everything" they like in the Batman mythos as being canon even though it's meant to be "5 years"; they simply play fast & loose with that. It's well worth a listen.

Here you go. Here is $4.99 in Imaginary money. I am keeping a penny because you missed a space in your explanation. Yes, even with imaginary money I am a cheapskate :P

Damian is ten years old. Batman was the world's first super hero but no one knew it because he was a myth, a rumor at best. It wasn't until the Justice League that he was exposed as a super hero. He worked with Raz long before he became Batman, so Talia knew Bruce and knew she wanted his genetic material.

He never adopted Dick, rather Dick was a 16 and worked for Bruce part time. Sixteen is right at the age where you want a mentor but you quickly evolve into an adult who chafes under a tyrant's thumb, so it makes sense that Dick would leave.

Jason was adopted and had a father/son relationship for Bruce. He was probably killed not long after becoming Robin.

Drake's backstory has been completely changed. He was never Robin, rather "Red Robin." He adventured with Batman under that moniker before going off to found the Titans (after Dick picked Damian over him to be the new Batman's Robin).

Damian was probably a bit of a test tube baby, though he wouldn't need his development accelerated too much (unless the story of how he was conceived is still canon, in which case, yes he needs accelerated growth).

Stephanie Brown never happened.

Huntress is Bruce Wayne from Earth 2's daughter.

Barbara is the only oddity. She would have had to become Batgirl early (around the time of Dick) and paralyzed soon after that, to account for her being Oracle for such a long time (2-3 years IIRC) but still making a large enough splash as Batgirl to be well known.

@FatihBATMAN: Snyder says that in his Batmans timeline every thing has happened and is canon he also said that he really dosnt follow the 5 year thing but yes the history we know is still canon in Batman some of the other DC characters timelines have been changed by the other writers.

Got a reference for that? It seems contradictory since he made so many changes....

@MuyJingo: interview on fatman on batman also what changes are you talking about because if its about dick or tim those changes were made by the writers of their series. also many of the writers that have been interviewed about the changes have said that dc made the five year timeline but told the writers that they could choose what stories are canon or what direction their characters will take along with their origin so, i dont know which ones you are referring to but they probably came from the characters solo book writer.

@ScarletBatman is all that in new 52, so all that has happened before that is non canon ? or just "good stories" ?

Yes.

Most of the info is gleaned from the titular character's solo comic (like Nightwing being 16, Tim not being Robin, Bruce and Jason having father/son moments, Huntress being the daughter of Earth 2's Bruce and Selina)). Stephanie has not been mentioned post-New 52 as far as I am aware, so I think she has been written out. The only real question mark is Damian, as his backstory is still a bit more obscure (read: has not been altered to fit the 5 year construct).

I was talking about the changes Snyder made in the Batman comic book. You keep saying he is trying not to change continuity, yet he keeps doing it, gladly.

Worlds' Finest starring Huntress and Powergirl, who were Robin and Supergirl in Earth 2, respectively, prior to being sucked into Earth 1 via a boom tube. Earth 2 #1 shows us that Helena is Bruce's daughter and #0 shows us that she is the daughter of Catwoman (who is in a very loving relationship with Bruce).
